Concept explainers
Referring to Conceptual Example 10-17 Consider a race between the following three objects: object 1, a disk; object 2, a solid sphere; and object 3, a hollow spherical shell. All objects have the same mass and radius. (a) Rank the three objects in the order in which they finish the race. Indicate a tie where appropriate. (b) Rank the objects in order of increasing kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp. Indicate a tie where appropriate.

- In each situation shown in Figure P8.12, a ball moves from point A to point B. Use the following data to find the change in the gravitational potential energy in each case. You can assume that the radius of the ball is negligible. a. h = 1.35 m, = 25, and m = 0.65 kg b. R = 33.5 m and m = 756 kg c. R = 33.5 m and m = 756 kg FIGURE P8.12 Problems 12, 13, and 14.arrow_forwardA small particle of mass m is pulled to the top of a friction less half-cylinder (of radius R) by a light cord that passes over the top of the cylinder as illustrated in Figure P7.15. (a) Assuming the particle moves at a constant speed, show that F = mg cos . Note: If the particle moves at constant speed, the component of its acceleration tangent to the cylinder must be zero at all times. (b) By directly integrating W=Fdr, find the work done in moving the particle at constant speed from the bottom to the top of the hall-cylinder. Figure P7.15arrow_forwardA small block of mass m = 200 g is released from rest at point along the horizontal diameter on the inside of a frictionless, hemispherical bowl of radius R = 30.0 cm (Fig. P8.43). Calculate (a) the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system when the block is at point relative to point . (b) the kinetic energy of the block at point . (c) its speed at point B, and (d) its kinetic energy and the potential energy when the block is at point . Figure P8.43 Problems 43 and 44.arrow_forward

The string is pulled downward 15.0 cm through the hole in the frictionless table. Determine the work done on the puck. (Suggestion: Consider the change of kinetic energy.)arrow_forwardThe mass of a hoop of radius 1.0 m is 6.0 kg. It rolls across a horizontal surface with a speed of 10.0 m/s. (a) How much work is required to stop the hoop? (b) If the hoop starts up a surface at 30 to the horizontal with a speed of 10.0 m/s, how far along the incline will it travel before stopping and rolling back down?arrow_forwardJonathan is riding a bicycle and encounters a hill of height h. At the base of the hill, he is traveling at a speed vi. When he reaches the top of the hill, he is traveling at a speed vf. Jonathan and his bicycle together have a mass m. Ignore friction in the bicycle mechanism and between the bicycle tires and the road. (a) What is the total external work done on the system of Jonathan and the bicycle between the time he starts up the hill and the time he reaches the top? (b) What is the change in potential energy stored in Jonathans body during this process? (c) How much work does Jonathan do on the bicycle pedals within the JonathanbicycleEarth system during this process?arrow_forward
- A block is connected to a spring that is suspended from the ceiling. Assuming air resistance is ignored, describe the energy transformations that occur within die system consisting of the block, the Earth, and the spring when the block is set into vertical motion.arrow_forwardA giant swing at an amusement park consists of a 365-kg uniform arm 10.0 m long, with two seats of negligible mass connected at the lower end of the arm (Fig. P8.53). (a) How far from the upper end is the center of mass of the arm? (b) The gravitational potential energy of the arm is the same as if all its mass were concentrated at the center of mass. If the arm is raised through a 45.0 angle, find the gravitational potential energy, where the zero level is taken to be 10.0 m below the axis, (c) The arm drops from rest from the position described in part (b). Find the gravitational potential energy of the system when it reaches the vertical orientation. (d) Find the speed of the seats at the bottom of the swing.arrow_forwardSophia is playing with a set of wooden toys, rolling them offthe table and onto the floor. One of the toys is a small spherewith a mass of 0.024 kg and a radius of 0.020 m, and another isa small cylinder that also has a mass of 0.024 kg but a radius of0.013 m. She rolls each toy so that it has the same translationalspeed of 0.40 m/s. How much greater is the kinetic energy ofthe cylinder than the kinetic energy of the sphere?arrow_forward

The car with a mass of 210 kg including the passenger and the driver, starts from rest.
